Glad you're OK hun, and the baby is too - quick question though: how tall are you?
If you're short, you're more likely to measure "ahead" just as tall people are more likely to measure "behind" - I would say it isn't an exact science, but that would be elevating measuring a bump to the field of "science", which it is not.

: grammar
I was going to suggest that perhaps because th ebaby is measuring larger that the scanner didn't want to offer anything one way or the other.
On the cervix length its perfectly NORMAL for it to lengthen and shorten right throughout the pregnancy. With DD pregnancy one week I measured 4.6, two weeks later it was down to 2cm (which sent me into panic mode folowwing the prem arrival of my first) then a scan a few days later showed it was back up to 3.1cm.
It depends on the babys position as far as I am aware as well and just the general changes int he body so do not be worried too much about it. Yes it MAY indicate a possible early birth butNOT in all cases
